Presidential Hardwood

Powell kush ki with phone number 9055511480 I found him from kijiji . I have same story as San from brampton.
He took 3000 dollars and left the work incomplete.
I want to know is there any way we aware other people from being traped.

We found Paul Kusciniski from presidential flooring on kijiji. Came in to do an estimate. Was initially very professional and even got us to see a site he was working on. When we hired him, he asked for a deposit and trusted him to start work on our house . We should have taken the unanswered phone calls as a sign. He started about 1 hour of work on our house and said he had to finish another guys place. So after one hour of work, he left and promised to return noon the next day. Day 2, he called that he won't make it till 2pm. Again we were quite reasonable and didn't really make a big deal out of it. He asked for payment for stairs purchased and as soon as we paid him, Him and his partner left and never came back (was very vague regarding timelines and when work was going to be started). We tried to call them to ask what the plan was and when they will actually start work and never answered our phone or text until the next day. At this point, we did not want to deal with a very unreliable contractor. He promised half of the deposit back and came to our house, took his tools and made excuses that he left his wallet at a site (this was not what he said when he called us on the phone -- he said he was at home depot waiting and had the money with him). All in all, our experience with this contractor was very disappointing. We should have taken his excuses and delays to start work as red flags to NOT hiring him. Real professionals start work right away and not make excuses to start work.

Paul started out all friendly and professional, but as time went on he became belligerent and nasty, and pressured for more money. His workmanship deteriorated similarly as he would leave gaping holes, put in boards without nailing, leave deep scratch marks on new boards, put in nosing that would not meet even minimal code, . and just generally left terrible, mismatched flooring.

Finally, after insisting on full payment, he left huge amounts of the project unfinished and disappeared, never answering calls or emails. We had to pay someone else to come in and spend hours fixing up the mess he left. Avoid Presidential Hardwood and Paul.
